21 including sports offers in the overview - city and clubs promote participation in sport
sports inclusion card at SG Arheilgen on Friday (April 4) . It shows sports offers for people with disabilities and is intended to promote participation in sport for all citizens. Mayor and head of sports Hanno Benz emphasized: "Together with the Darmstadt clubs, we are actively committed to ensuring that all people, regardless of physical or intellectual prerequisites, can take part in sports in our city."
The current card documents 21 including sports offers in Darmstadt. In the future, it will be updated annually and is based on various measures to promote inclusion: This includes the recording of barriers in a sports facility , the networking and advice of clubs as well as barrier -free conversions and new buildings such as in the shepherd's base hall and in the north bath .
"The committed cooperation with the clubs created new offers that are now made visible with the sports inclusion card. The aim is to enable all people access to sport as health promotion, rehabilitation measure and community -creating experience," Benz continues. He particularly emphasized the use of the clubs, which contribute to accessibility and participation .
The city had created a first inclusive sports card as part of the MIA project ("More Inclusion for everyone") five years ago. The follow -up project VIIAS ("Diverse innovative inclusive offers in sport") has further developed this approach and established new inclusive offers in the city and district of Darmstadt. The number of documented inclusive sports offers has increased from 8 to 21. The number of clubs with an inclusion contact person has also increased significantly: While there was only one club in 2019, around one fifth of all sports clubs in the region has a permanent contact person for inclusion.
The current sports inclusion card is available via the city's website: 👉 www.darmstadt.de/sport
